UCC project blocked by planning refusal

A UCC PLAN to create an outreach university has been rejected by An Bord Pleanála.

The board overturned their own inspector’s report which had approved the university project.

UCC proposed to build a 1,675sq metre, two-storey building at the scenic Mardyke Walk in Cork, but an objection was lodged by Cork County Cricket Club, who are based nearby.
